New to Red.
 

So I've decided to move to Red and start a Cleric.

I'm struggling to find people to group with or even get a response from OOC about where the best places to go are, I'm just wondering if it's worth me levelling or will I be forced to attempt to solo to 60, in which case I'd rather just play Blue for the population.

Once you are 5 kill orcs with ppl in Fay. Then head to crushbone, then unrest, then mm, once you hit 40 com/solb. All you need is a dps to get rolling. I have a ranger alt in fay if you need spell money

Also, the xp group bonus is insane, so once you get a solid group you will push through levels very quick to make up for it.

Yep, group up wherever possible. The main population for leveling is on Faydwer up to 40 or so.

The last 2 sessions I've grouped on my bard we haven't had a healer, let alone a cleric (tf for bard songs)... people will love you <3

If anyone else is reading this thinking of dipping their foot in the red server, a healer is a good way to start... watch and learn with the pvp etc while keeping your pals alive.

If you have problems finding a group I would make a necro/shm/ druid... They can all solo well + Druids can port and find groups easier. Imo make a cleric when you can afford some gear/make friends to PL you
